This is a model of a building that has multiple thermal zones on each floor,
and an HVAC system on each floor.
The HVAC system is a variable air volume (VAV) system with economizer
and a heating and cooling coil in the air handler unit (AHU). There is also a
reheat coil and an air damper in each zone inlet branch. Each floor has one VAV
AHU system.
The figure below shows the schematic diagram of the HVAC system
The control sequence regulates the supply fan speed to ensure a
prescribed pressure rise of 850 Pa when the supply fan runs
during operation modes occupied, unoccupied night set back,
unoccupied warm-up, and unoccupied pre-cool.
The heating coil valve, outside air damper, and cooling coil valve are
modulated in sequence to maintain the supply air temperature set point.
The economizer control ensures the following functions:
minimum outside air requirement, and supply air cooling, see
Buildings.Examples.VAVReheat.BaseClasses.Controls.Economizer.
The controller of the terminal units tracks the room air temperature set point
based on a "single maximum" logic, see
Buildings.Examples.VAVReheat.BaseClasses.Controls.RoomVAV.
There is also a finite state machine that transitions the mode of operation of
the HVAC system between the modes
occupied, unoccupied off, unoccupied night set back,
unoccupied warm-up, and unoccupied pre-cool.
Local loop control is implemented using proportional and proportional-integral
controllers, while the supervisory control is implemented
using a finite state machine.
The thermal room model computes transient heat conduction through
walls, floors, and ceilings and long-wave radiative heat exchange between
surfaces. The convective heat transfer coefficient is computed based
on the temperature difference between the surface and the room air.
There is also a layer-by-layer short-wave radiation,
long-wave radiation, convection, and conduction heat transfer model for the
windows. The model is similar to the Window 5 model and described in
TARCOG 2006.
Each thermal zone can have air flow from the HVAC system, through leakages of
the building envelope.
